Title: Andy Patterson finally arrived
Post by: Dr Skyway on August 03, 2006, 04:33 PM: Well they have finally arrived from Austria of all places, but I am well happy with these and the price £65 posted :) which will be going (eventually) on a DP freestyler. If anyone has any further info on these or comments please add them. cheers.

Them rims don`t look so bad, it looks more like a build up of brake pad on there that should scrape off ok :coolsmiley:

Post by: rudhallrascal on August 04, 2006, 01:36 AM: When I recieved mine a few years ago I wrote and asked for any information from Skyway themselves, below is the email they sent. Not sure what truth is in it, as I have heard there were a number made in the UK back in the early eighties. Also heared that Andy Patterson was very p1ssed they used his signature without his authorisation.

Good News

You have original “Andy Patterson” Signed Tuff Wheels. These never made it to production so they are very rare!! There was only around 10 sets made. They are worth a lot of money

Congrats!

Post by: Dr Skyway on August 04, 2006, 12:52 PM: Thanks for th response guys. What is the best way to remove the brake build up, use a craft knife? also what is a good product to restore the black to the wheels. I was thinking some sort of car bumper silicone spray, or are there some old wifes remedies out there ;D

Cheers.

Post by: lazychubs on August 04, 2006, 03:25 PM: rombloke uses a craft knife or very fine wet and dry paper
